Exploring Cancer with Computers

Computers can be used to identify cancer treatment targets that wouldn’t otherwise have been considered, according to research by an Australian team. Professor Mark Ragan from The University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), who led the research team, says they found that computational methods could be used to untangle the intricacies of cancer biology. The findings are published in the current edition of the scientific journal Genome Medicine.
